Why? Well, why the hell wouldn’t a college football fan want to catch that matchup? It’s a historic rivalry, Auburn was trying to spoil Alabama’s season and Nick Saban was out because of coronavirus.
There were huge storylines all over the place for the monster SEC matchup. Clearly, a lot of people agree because the ratings were huge.
